This Hotel Is AMAZING!

This hotel is amazing!!! I am so glad I found it and it literally made our trip to Sedona - the best trip I've ever been ANYWHERE. Likely since I was able to be with my fur babe and know we are both having fun and not stressed!!

My company provides a sabbatical once you hit the five year mark and encourages traveling out of the country. However, I couldn't imagine leaving my fur babe Bentley alone for a long period of time. So, my boo and Bentley, made the trek from San Diego to Sedona via road trip.

We stayed in room 3 which has a doggy patio so you can let your pup out whenever to do it's thang. They provide a doggy basket with sweet items like bags, blankets etc. The room is equipped with a fireplace but being that it was June, it was too hot for us to use. HOWEVER, they also provide S'mores kits so this is now on OUR winter wonderland list travel list.

It also had a bath jacuzzi which was luscious after a long day of walking and being in the hot sun. (thanks for the bath bubble salts!) The common area - lobby/dining tables/dinette is perfect. If you have refrigerated leftovers, takeout etc. you can microwave and have all items needed. Also, the snacks are the best snacks ever at a hotel. HEALTHY and exactly what it should be when traveling in the wild southwest.

The outdoor patio courtyard with growing grapes was so therapeutic and a great spot to chill and enjoy the outdoors but get out of the very hot AZ sun. It was interesting to note: that most of the guests did NOT have dogs, which in my opinion says a lot as well. It's just such a lovely beautiful zen space that will hold a place in our hearts forever whether you are a solo traveler or you have your pack in tow.

BENTLEY'S REVIEW:
"I give the hotel five out of five bones. It was ruff leaving after three amazing days at El Portal - I loved lounging in the courtyard napping - it was sooo good coming back to the hotel after a smokin' hot day in the AZ sun and hot rocks and sidewalks (thank heavens for booties - and thank heavens for BOW WOW SEDONA across the way) but the El Portal was PAWSitively amazing."
